Leon Osman

[Elvis]

Has there been any news on Leon recently? Moyes talked about a floating bone in his knee but I have also seen foot injury mentioned.

 

[BigBlueBalls]

No idea, but we certainly miss the little maestro.

He's had a setback, he'll be out for another 3 weeks maybe four apparently.

He's boss. If we could play him instead of Cahill and pair Junior with Fellaini then we'd be an awesome passing side.

I think hes on the wind up.

Inniesta is a bit of a stretch but he is an underrated boy. very very skilful and an eye for a great pass. yesterdays set up for jelly was poetry

 

[Rook]

When he wasn't playing that much for us, I was shocked no one ever placed a bid for the guy (not that moyes would sell). On a smallish prem team (West Brom, Fulham etal). You could run your attack though him the way Blackpool did with Adam last year or the way Osman did for us the final 1/3 of the season.

My next jersey will be Osman.

popcorn master! Osman is a good little player on his day. But i think that's a bit over the top

 

[Dom1878]

I'm not saying he should be or anything, but he may have given Pearce something to think about yesterday (he was there)

 

[Summerskin]

Leon is like a fine wine, he's certainly gotten better with age.

Beautiful play for the goal yesterday, pretty much exact to the way he set up Beckford at Anfield last year.

 

[Roztitute]

Great touch and a great pass. Skinned Kaboul. Well in Ossie.

 

[ScouseBlueBoy]

Wilshire doesn't mean Osman is in the Iniesta class, just that his outlook is similar. Not everything has to be a slur.

 

[Mick Ocallaghan]

Very under-rated, has some great skill. The only thing is when he does a few good moves in a game, he gets a bit cocky and looses the ball trying to take on the opponents single handed, when there is often an easier pass on. Dont get me wrong i really like him, he will be very important to us in the run in.

Brilliant player. Our resurgent runs and big name scalps in the second half of the last three seasons have all been Ossie inspired.

BUT, because he can do a job anywhere in midfield does not mean he should be played anywhere in midfield. Iniesta is the wrong comparison for me. He's more of a cut price Scholes. England managers played Scholes on the left for a good long time; which was a great waste. Let's not do the same with Ossie. If anything Cahill's place should be in jeopardy.

Osman should always be played in the centre. Preferably if not behind the striker then in front of Maro.
